My Story
I had always said... If I could find a product that I loved, I would manufacture and market it.
It would have to be something totally cute, that came in fun colors and would make me smile just thinking about it. And... it would have to benefit a greater good. (After all... I was a Peace Corps volunteer in my younger years!)
My friends, Allison and Marc, gave me some very cute dog paw magnets for my birthday. They were darling but... I knew that I wanted smiley faces for my car, too! And then I wanted a cute bike and then I wanted something cute from Sonoma County and...
Well, you get the message. One thing led to another and I had to start designing them myself. And after that I found fun products that other women designed which I just had to have on my website.
The next big challenge was figuring out how to "share the wealth." I called some of my favorite nonprofits (Canine Companions for Independence, the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition, the YWCA of Sonoma County and Alley Cat Allies) and asked if they would like to receive 5% of the sales price of certain magnets. They were thrilled (of course!) and the rest is history!
So I hope you enjoy the car tattoos and note cards as much as I do. Every time I get in my little red car, I smile. I hope these fun car tattoos put a smile on your face too!
